Common Chameleon
Chamaeleo chamaeleon
Adult common chameleons inhabit sunlit bushes, olive groves, woodland edges, and gardens around the Mediterranean region. They hunt insects and other small invertebrates from branches, relying on stillness, rotating eyes, and a swift tongue strike. A prehensile tail provides a secure grip while climbing through tangled vegetation.
